Inside the experience at Le Rideau Rouge

What makes Les femmes ont toujours raison les hommes n'ont jamais tort so infectious at Le Rideau Rouge is the way it balances observation and exaggeration. The show pivots through snapshots of modern love—first dates derailed by etiquette and algorithms, domestic diplomacy over chores and chargers, holiday planning as a battlefield of expectations—always returning to the endearing reality that romance is a moving target. The performers play with tempo and contrast, sliding from affectionate banter to sparkling verbal fencing and back again, with a knack for silence as comedic counterpoint. Our theatre’s scale brings you close to the micro-expressions that carry the humor: the eyebrow that says “case closed,” the smile that says “I’m not conceding, I’m just choosing peace,” the sigh that doubles as a drumroll. There are moments of inspired physical comedy and quick-fire repartee, but also sly detours into role reversal and playful logic, where certainty melts under the heat of evidence and timing. Expect bursts of audience recognition—the spontaneous “that’s us” whisper, the ripple of shared discovery—as the show takes aim at the myths and little lies we all use to keep love lively.

From our programming perspective, this engagement also reflects the ongoing momentum around this production and its creative team. The piece has steadily grown its fan base on the road, earning repeat visits from couples and groups of friends who relish catching new nuances when the performers lean into the crowd’s energy. Between tour dates, the team continues to fine-tune transitions, enrich callbacks, and tighten the scenic rhythm, which makes the version you’ll see at Le Rideau Rouge especially taut and lively. We’ve shaped the technical environment—sound, light, and sightlines—to highlight the finesse of the writing and the actors’ timing, so nothing blunts a punchline or buries a breath. The result is an experience that feels tailored to our room: convivial, immediate, and full of after-show conversation fodder. Whether you arrive as a duo ready to test your “negotiation score,” as a group in search of a sparkling evening, or solo with a taste for bright theatre, you’ll find an atmosphere that rewards listening as much as laughter. To meet audience demand, we have scheduled additional performances and encourage early booking; doors open ahead of showtime to give you a relaxed start, and our team is on hand to make sure your night at Le Rideau Rouge is as seamless and spirited as the comedy playing out onstage.
